An upcoming joint US-Israel report on the September 6 IAF strike on a Syrian facility will claim that former Iraqi president Saddam Hussein transferred weapons of mass destruction to the country, Channel 2 stated Monday.
Furthermore, according to a report leaked to the TV channel, Syria has arrested 10 intelligence officials following the assassination of Hizbullah terror chief Imad Mughniyeh.
Syria Arrests Saudi Official Over Mughniyeh Assassination
In a move that could have far reaching consequences, Syria arrested a Saudi official in connection with the assassination of top Hizbullah commander Imad Mughniyeh, Iran’s semi-official Fars news agency reported Tuesday.
A high-ranking defense official in Saudi Arabia’s embassy in Damascus, who was connected to a Syrian woman on whose name the two explosives-laden cars used to kill Mughniyeh were registered, was arrested by Syrian security forces, Fars quoted an Iranian source as saying.
The source said though Israel masterminded the assassination, locals with Syrian, Jordanian and Palestinian citizenships executed the operation. The men bought or rented apartments near Mughniyeh’s residence in Damascus and surveyed his activities from there, the source said.
The agency blamed the delay in publishing the results of the Syrian inquiry on pressure from Gulf States including Kuwait and Saudi Arabia.
